<p>When I think of what my goals in life are I remember John Lennon’s response when asked about what he wanted to be when he grew up. Happy, was all he said. They said he didnt understand the question, but I believe he understood perfectly well what the right goal in life was, happiness. I believe that whether you are successful or not in life, is determined mostly by whether you are happy or not in what you are doing. Everyone has high aspirations in life, but should the amount of money you make be the only factor in determining what you want to do? I want to be a psychiatrist, but its not just a thought that popped into my head over night, it was through many experiences that Ive collected throughout high school that this has become my goal.
At first I had no idea what I wanted, so I tried to join as many clubs as I could to find where my niche was. Through my joining of so many clubs I learned to prioritize the many things in my life, in both school and my personal life. Instead of spreading myself thin trying to do everything all at once I was able to come up with different ways to balance both work and play. Being able to balance my work and play through scheduling, gave me the opportunity to enjoy the many things I joined, all of which I loved (which is what motivated me to stay in them). Although I never truly found my niche in a club, the one that I enjoyed the most, and had the biggest influence on me was band, because I didnt just learn about notes and rhythms, I learned about life.
I learned that although we are all different, when we share a passion for something all the little things become irrelevant. Even when you have to wake up early every morning to get to practice, and you have to put hours into a single piece of music, when you have a passion for something its never a grueling task. And I think thats the thing about band thats had the biggest impact on my goals in life, I no longer want to get a job that will just get me a decent living, I want a job that I have a passion for and that passion for me is becoming a psychiatrist.
Being a psychiatrist, is my goal because itll make me happy and its because of the different clubs that Ive joined that my outlook on life has become less concerned with money, and more concerned with enjoying my life.</p>
<p>what was your prompt? the essay is very vague and all over the place. it didn’t help me learn much about you.</p>
<p>Elaborate: why do u wanna become a psychiatrist?</p>
<p>you don’t mention that until the last paragraph. i would focus more on specific events or clubs and how they pushed you to want to be a psychiatrist.</p>
